INTRODUCTION & VISION
1.0 INTRODUCTION & VISION
The site at 179-217 Centre Dandenong
Rd, Dingley Village (Site) will be
developed into an exemplary residential
community, knitted together with high-
quality open spaces and streetscapes.
The masterplan aims to transform
the Site into a new community by
providing places and spaces that
create outstanding sustainable
living environments for families.

INTRODUCTION & VISION
1.4 THE STREETS
The collective appearance of individual house
designs create a neighbourhood character
which impacts the quality of life and property
values. Individual residences will be designed to
complement each other, as well as contribute
positively to an attractive streetscape. Built form
is to be contemporary in style and complementary
to neighbouring precincts. Dwelling designs shall
optimise the natural attributes of the site, and create
the preferred character of this new community.
A combination of factors will impact on how
safe and inviting a street will become. In this
Design Guidelines document, fundamental
streetscape elements will be discussed and will
form a key part of assessing house designs.
1.5 BUILT FORM
A successful and inviting community is a
place where buildings and public spaces work
together cohesively, but each with its distinctive
characteristics. Appropriate built form that
is suitably sited in relationship to its street is
important to the overall character of the place.
The design and construction of a suitable
built form, specific to lot orientation, will
significantly reduce the energy footprint
of the Site, as well as deliver sustainable
dwellings which improve the living comfort and
ongoing running and maintenance costs.
1.6 LOT TYPES
Variety in allotment sizes, orientation and aspects
has been carefully planned to encourage diversity
and provide a wide range of housing options.
Varying lot frontages avoids uniformity. This in
turn allows opportunity to create interesting
street articulation and promotes individuality.
The Design Guidelines also respond to the natural
landscape and local climatic conditions to promote
passive design and effective use of land.
